The kit we bought, our current setups

A new fireplace is installed and my wife is redecorating , so this was a chance to change the orientation 90 degrees and place speakers in the longest wall. Tried that before with success but on opposite wall. Initial impression is good. Tomorrow I have to remeasure and calibrate the Trinnov to the new orientation.
This is how pink noise looks like in Audio Tools ( perfekt pink=flat horisontal Line )

Bass from the sub is supplemented by a pair of buttkickers powered by a class D Monoprice amp. All the amps in this 5.2.4 setup are now class D (Fosi V3, Aiyima A07, Monoprice), and the amp inside the SVS PB3000.

I added some wheels to my stuff yesterday, cleaned dust as well and integrated the new (to me) Yamaha NP-S2000:
Nice collection of an all Yamaha rig.
I got casters under all my racks so I can roll them out for wire service etc.
Otherwise what else can you do that isn't a huge hassle ?
 
TV is 65"... just right for the room size and my viewing distance which is ~7.5 feet.
Kool, I guess it's just the angle of the photo the makes it look larger.
Thanks
 
@cyclo, What speakers are you using for front left & right?
Front speakers are 30 plus year old Infinity Modulus monitors... They still sound great and image really well. My rear surround speakers are also 30 plus year old bookshelves (Canton).
 
This is my thing.

The music I listen to is mainly pink noise and REW sweeps, and very very very occasionally rock music.

Extra bonus: this is my cat Mephistopheles (aka Satan) acting as Wally and bass trap.

Where is Wally?

He hates REW sweeps, but loves CAT Stevens' music.
